Nate Berkus marries Jeremiah Brent in historic first ever same sex marriage at New York Public Library

Making history: Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent are the first same sex couple to marry at the New York Public Library

Celebrity interior decorator Nate Berkus has married Jeremiah Brent in a historic New York ceremony.

The American Dream Builders host wed the TV personality in a ceremony in front of 220 guests at the New York Public Library on Saturday, according to People.

The pair made history as they are the first same-sex couple to hold their wedding at the New York landmark.

Berkus wore a suit by J.Crew, while
his partner sported Saint Laurent and they exchanged identical gold
rings from Van Cleef & Arpels.

The
ceremony was officiated by Sheri Salata, the president of Oprah
Winfrey's Harpo Productions, and the talk show host herself was among
guests.

Others to attend
included parents from both families as well as celebrity chef Rachael
Ray; food critic Katie Lee and actress Busy Philipps.

Speaking of their plans for the nuptials, Brent previously told E!:
'It's going to be a really sexy wedding ceremony, like really masculine
but sexy feel. It's been really great and been a really fun process for
us to blend our aesthetics together and really create this whole
moment.'

Berkus, 42, and his partner – who was
formerly Rachel Zoe's personal assistant – got engaged around a year ago
in Peru after nine months of dating.

Recalling
the proposal, Brent, 29, said: 'We were on a buying trip… in Peru and
we went on the top of Machu Picchu and we walked down into this valley
temple place and he asked me to marry him. I fell apart, like full
ugly-girl kind of cry.'

The
ceremony was followed by a reception which included a set by DJ Mad
Marj, as well as a special performance by Estelle of her hit American
Boy.

The couple have previously been rumoured to be planning a family together using a surrogate and hoping for a boy.

According to the New York Post,
Brent was talking of the subject at the Hollywood home of socialite
Alex Hitz, where he told guests: 'I wouldn’t know how to deal with a
little girl.'

The seriousness of the design duo's
relationship first came to light when Berkus put his Manhattan home on
the market in December 2012.

A
source said at the time: 'Nate came to LA, bought a luxury Mercedes and
saw a Hollywood Hills home and nabbed it all in the same day.'

The insider added that as The Nate Berkus Show had been cancelled, he had little reason to stay in New York.

'He’s
been telling people now that he isn’t tied down with the show and his
Target line has proven successful, he really can live anywhere,' the
source said. 'Nate is inseparable from Jeremiah.'
